We believe the output from Argentine universities is vast and valuable; therefore, we are once again launching an open call to showcase the best final degree projects produced by these institutions.
Academic proposals can serve as significant intellectual and critical works. The goal of this call is to ensure these projects do not remain tucked away, gathering dust on shelves, and losing their potential to drive real change in our cities and in how we inhabit and perceive our world.
If you believe your 2018 final degree project is compelling enough to be featured on our site and that your hard work deserves recognition from the wider community, please submit it using the form at the end of this article.

Herb Parker, I-Park Passage, 2017 Site-Responsive Art Residency & Biennale
I-Park, East Haddam, CT (U.S.), is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its seventh international, multi-disciplinary Site-Responsive Art Residency & Biennale. The three-week residency will run from September 2-23, 2019 and will culminate in a public exhibition on September 22, 2019. The residency will be devoted exclusively to the 8-12 artists/designers invited to create new works for the exhibition. I-Park views site-responsive art as a multi-disciplinary, multi-sensory field – at its most impactful when the installations and performances are developed and experienced in-situ. The term “site-responsive” is construed broadly to encompass the various aspects of the project site: natural, built, social – and sensitive to the various dimensions of time. Artists/designers working in the following creative disciplines are encouraged to apply: visual arts, music composition/sound art, language arts, architecture, moving image, landscape/garden/ecological design and performance art. An artist’s stipend of $3,500 plus travel reimbursement will be paid to each artist or collaborating team.
We invite you to come envision the unseen future of humanity on Moon. We call you to imagine and create the first human habitation outside of earths perimeter and celebrate the golden age of space exploration.
Ever since the beginning of mankind, we have developed an unexplained affinity towards the various celestial bodies around us, our captivation being held by the moon at the center of all of it. This fascination is visible right from humankind's illustrations in the caves from thousands of years ago to our latest works in literature, astronomy, astrology, architecture and many other fields of studies. Our love for moon and race to explore new horizons, we have created history in the mid 20th century, with the first steps of mankind on the lunar surface. This drive and fascination for the moon have led us to believe that it could be the next destination for humans.
